Dark Horse

graphite

5" x 7"

NFS

My five minute horse. It was something I doodled in a lecture, I believe, while at university. Not much to look at, but it was fun.

Rearing Horse

graphite

8" x 10"

NFS

One of my earlier works. I did not know how to protect my drawings then and put adhesive plastic on it. Part of it ripped off at the bottom in later years.

African Violet

colour pencil

5" x 7"

NFS

This is my only attempt at colour pencils so far. I enjoyed drawing it, though it was a very simple drawing, but I felt I needed a lot more experience with this medium. I might do some more work like this, but the graphite will always remain my favourite.

Orchid

graphite

8" x 10"

NFS

Another experiment. I have not drawn a lot of flowers in the past. These two are the only one. I cannot say I did not enjoy doing them, but they lacked the character and expression 'live' subjects give me. They were not very challenging.
